What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2, 3 and 11?

Answer

LCM of 2, 3 and 11 is
66

First common multiples: 66, 132, 198, …

66 is divisible by all three: 66 ÷ 2 = 33, 66 ÷ 3 = 22, 66 ÷ 11 = 6 — and 33, 22 and 6 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/2 by 33 and of y/3 by 22 and of z/11 by 6.

2 — prime

3 — prime

11 — prime
